Just found this in a collection - unusual pattern for a normal?

[KevinK]

As i understand it, the toffee morph is recessive, so even if this animal is a het, the pattern should not show through.

Toffee/Candy IS recessive (and compatible with Albino by the way) .....but that doesn't necessarily mean hets don't show. For example, certain recessive mutations have "markers" if you will where you can actually tell they are het for a trait. Piebald is a good example, having "railroad tracks" in the het offspring.
